Avatar f tn Your daughter is three years of age? ADD is Attention Deficit Disorder. ADHD is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity disorder. Even though they are both attention disorders, they are quite different. Your daughter is three years old; she is going to be hyper, she is going to have more energy than your whole family combined, just as well as every other three year old out there. I have a three year old of my own which inhibits every behavior you mentioned.
1391069 tn?1292233685 Also its worth looking at some of the other posts (and answers) by parents to get a feeling for problems that 3 and 4 year olds have. If you do still have concerns after more research, I would look for a different doctor. Probably a pediatric psychiatrist or psychologist. Hope this helps. Please feel free to post if you have any more questions.

1472248 tn?1292611095 From the symptoms described this looks to be attention deficit hyperactivity disorder rather than anything related to the previous episode of rolandic seizure. ADHD usually presents in early school years. The child can be either primarily inattentive, impulsive, hyperactive or emotionally unstable. The child often doesn’t seem to listen, is easily distracted, cant sit still and is fidgety, has angry outbursts, social loner, becomes very sensitive to criticism.
Avatar f tn I agree, I would have your pediatrician assess him for ADHD, but I would also consider Sensory Disintegration Disorder. This behavior is not so different from a child who has suffered a trauma or loss (been hurt, loss in the family, parents separated).
Avatar f tn Ritalin is used to treat attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and narcolepsy (an uncontrollable desire to sleep). When given for attention deficit disorder, Ritalin should be an integral part of a total treatment program that includes psychological, educational, and social measures. Ritalin may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
5757880 tn?1395578022 Once you have read the information below you will realise that Ritalin and other ADD / ADHD medications achieve nothing more than the suppression of symptoms. If we remove the cause of Attention Deficit Disorder, the symptoms will soon abate and no medication will be necessary.

You can find a lot of good advice here if you ask for it.

Or can his doctor petition the insurance company for an exception? But other things that you can do. I highly recommend getting the book, "The ADD/ ADHD Answer book," by Susan Ashley. It will answer many of your questions about ADHD for the next decade or so. Also check out these two links from the childbehavior site.

Avatar n tn How do I tell if my 3 year old is just being 3 or if their is a problem. He has a hard time in preschool listening to the teacher. He wants to do what he wants and will hit the teachedr and other children. He will do the same at home. Alot of time he smiles and wants the attention.
Avatar f tn Fasciculation were correlated with body weight and height and to the anxiety levels, regular strenuous exercise. Attention deficit disorder or drugs used to treat it and a related disorder may be a contributing factor. Genetic and environmental factors also contribute. BFS is not life threatening, not disabling, though the most severe forms of peripheral nerve hyper excitability may be persistent enough to create some degree of disability.
429700 tn?1308007823 Hi Deb, Is the problem ADD (attention deficit (with out) hyperactivity disorder) or CAPD ( central auditory processing disorder) the reason behind the question is that sx can seemingly overlap, though there is a distinct difference but ADD and ADHD is more widely known.
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed as depressed and having Attention Deficit Disorder. All my life since childhood I have been extremely anxious in social situations, so much that it has hindered my social, academic, and work life. I have turned to online classes to finish my degree, but again because of my attention deficit I am now taking Concerta. Since I am almost at the end of my undergrad degree and would like to continue in grad school and attain employment in my area of study, I want to treat my anxiety.
Avatar n tn We took him to a child psychiatrist recommended by his pediatrician and it turned out that he had ADD. Not ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder), just ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) He was put on medication, once daily and his life changed completely. He could concentrate, focus, his grades went up, his mood changed AND the homework was being turned in - daily! Even the teacher called us on the phone and asked what in the world was going on. haha.
Avatar f tn I work in a child care facility with 3-5 year olds (preschool age). I have 24 students in my class and I have one child that lately is having very severe behavior management problems. She has always had problems with behavior, but most recently it has grown worse than ever. When the children get in trouble they are supposed to go to timeout for how ever many minutes they are old. I try to put this certain child in timeout and she refuses.
4971738 tn?1390565384 Ummm, the 'Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Diagnosis, Evaluation and Treatment of Children and Adolescents with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder," do not cover kids until they are 4 years old. Because, "there are added challenges in determining the presence of key symptoms.
